I expect there are a few options if you care to expand on your question.

I've asked you so many questions...... To which you haven't answered to...... If you gave us a bit more info then we could advise you what https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ you could use.
Are you actually a tiler.......?

OK, simple answer.
Best ready mix for grab is BAL white star, best cement based is kerakoll bio gel.

That came across as a bit arrogant. Maybe you should listen to what you're being asked.... I'm sure people could answer if you gave the whole picture. But I'm curious..... why are you asking? have you had a failure?

Hows this for a coincidence? I was recently asked (was actually on Wednesday) for an independent answer to a question from the service department of a local company. Apparently their customer purchased his products from them online back in April and didn't seek any advise on prep or what to use, so I presumed he had a tiler that knew what he was doing. But he didn't. Anyway, this chap from Cheshire, his tiler tried to put 300x100 tiles up with Bostik A100 Showerproof (D1), no spacers, onto plywood which he'd PVA'd the face with a 50/50 solution.

From the image i saw the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ had kind of stuck to the ply (say kind of, it would actually have been stuck to the PVA skin), but there was no back-buttering on the tile and they had slipped, so the customer was questioning why the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ hadn't set properly after only 18 hours. His tiler said the https://www.tilersforums.com/forums/tile-adhesive/ was faulty but I find that extremely unlikely.

But anyway, back to your initial question and lets start from the very beginning. What substrate is it that are you tile onto?

You know it isn't going to be ply .

Then there shouldn't be a problem :)

Showerproof and string could be the way forward, lol

besides, based on one of his previous comments, surely not using spacers is lazy, not the other way round?
